    Hawks over Temple on saturday night in a good one. Can see both teams are flawed offensively though. Temple pretty much all Wyatt right now and the Hawks lack consistency minute to minute on offense. Entertaining game though. As much as I dislike Wyatt's demeanor at times he was fantastic the other night and even seemed to enjoy the atmosphere. that 3 to cut it to one was a bomb. Think he messed up at the end though by taking it all the way to the lane. If he pulls up he either sinks it or we foul him.

    Lunardi still has Temple as one of his last 4 in as of tonight. I think Nova was last 4 out? Didn't see any of the Nova game this weekend. LaSalle with a good win at GW. I still think LaSalle is going to end up making it. I think they are going to smoke the Hawks. That's on 2/16 at the Palestra. Hawks get at Dayton and at Umass this week. Gotta go 2-0 to move up closer to top of league and at least get close to some talk about tourny. last i saw RPI was at 79 which is not nearly close enough.

    It's weird not having a mid-week game for LaSalle.

    I watched the last 2 minutes of the St. Joe's game. Down 4 with 27 secs left and they take a quick, very long 3. I don't understand that. Get a quick 2 and extend the game.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    hawks have a low basketball IQ. 2nd most frustrating season in over 20 years. Phil has become Speedy Morris. 4-4 in the league now. dayton blows, hawks had a 7 point lead then started jacking up lousy shots and gave it away in the last 12 minutes and for some godforsaken reason we had our worst defender (tay jones) guarding there best player (dilliard) who torched him. just awful. good news is next game is at Umass on saturday where they are expecting 2 feet of snow.

    ...i'd love 2 feet of snow down here. sick of all these little coating to an inch snowfalls wev'e been getting. just give me one big fucking blizzard and then give me spring a few weeks later.

    i'm really loving the way nova is playing right now. just destroyed 2 lowly big east teams. last couple nova teams would have struggled for those wins.

    quite a few ways this team can beat you. hilliard is developing into a pretty decent big east player--averaging about 17ppg in his last 9 games or so. mouph and ochefu are playing beastlike down low. pinkston still plugging along. arch only had 3 points, but 4 assists to 0 turnovers is great sign. he is playing much less out of control as opposed to a month ago.

    big test coming up this week at cinci and at uconn. if they can split, i'd be feeling pretty, pretty good heading towards the home stretch.

    Did anyone catch the end of Temple-Dayton?

    See the ref call a PHANTOM foul?

    Scootie Randall was NEVER touched. That clock should've ran out and ended the game.

    yes than right after that they called a ridiculous touch foul on temple giving dayton 2 foul shots with the chance to win before the guy bricked them. 2 god awful calls against temple there.

    off topic but how about nd-louisville game. came home that night and put it on late 2nd half and couldn't stop wathcing through the 5 overtimes. best part was the contrast between the coaches. mike brey having fun with it and pitino looking like he was gonna have a coronary.

    and michigan-wisconsin with an incredible ending. love Bo Ryan but can't fathom not fouling with 3 fouls to give and letting Hardaway jr. take a 3 to put them up before wisconsin bangs a 40 footer to tie which of course michigan should have fouled.

    just don't understand coaches not fouling up 3 in the last 5 to 7 seconds. only once i have ever seen a team foul and still lose (miss. st. vs. kentucky in sec tourny a few years ago). it just makes no sense not fouling in that situation. at least 4 things have to go right for the team down to tie the game if they are fouled.

    Horrible officiating at the end of the TU Dayton game. This may lead CBB to have a flopping call.

    LaSalle, live by the 3 and they'll eventually die by it. Nice to see Mills wake up after just and awful season for him. It would be nice if he hit some 3's v. better competition.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    LaSalle blew a 57-46 or 48 lead last night and got a little lucky. The Bonnies caught a break when LaSalle fouled on the floor up by 3. The ref called in the act of shooting a 3, even though the player wasn't shooting and actually pumped faked once before he shot. How could he be fouled in the act of shooting if he pumped faked before he shot? He missed the 1st 2 and made the 3rd when he was trying to miss.

    A sell-out at the Palestra on Saturday. I'm taking my son to his 1st Palestra game. He was asking why it's so great to see a game there? I said the atmosphere. He said what? I said you'll see when you're there. Best place to ever see a basketball game. I was conceived and born there during a triple header. :lol:

    your son should have an awesome time. there is nothing like a sold out Palestra with half the tickets to both sides. i too went to many palestra games as a kid and have so many great memories. i just hope my hawks can stay close. i don't see the hawks having much of a chance to win. we can't guard the explorers. only hope is to pound them inside and hope lasalle misses a lot but i don't see it.

    totally. how cool was that? and for a kid it was awesome to get a chance to throw them a couple of times. remember when the names on the scoreboard had to be changed with the big long suction stick when they had doubleheaders? as a kid always wanted to get to do that.

    That was neat. I also remember being in the concourse in between games and everyone was smoking but I was under most of the smoke.

    scottie reynolds' type performance by arch today. BOOM.

    one of the best rebounding performances by a nova team i have seen in years.

    nova did what they had to do this week. 3-2 rest of way, plus a win at the garden should do it...

    This Temple team is a disgrace. The 3 home losses and the loss to St Joe's are just embarrassing. This team started 9-1 I think and the season has tanked. Dunphy has proven a mediocre recruiter and has done a terrible job getting this team to have any chemistry on either side of the court. He looks disconnected out there, consistently waiting way too long to call timeouts to stall the other team's momentum. And after timeouts the team comes out and has nothing creative to run. I'm ready for a change.

    I almost hope Lasalle beats us on Thursday - this Temple team has no right to share the Big 5 title. Maybe we'll get hot in the NIT. :roll:
